03 4cyl? That should be chain.
03 6cyl? I think it's INTERFERENCE engine on a rubber band.

It's interesting how manufacturers say belts are quieter and better. And the next thing you know everybody is going chains.

They both have serious advantages and diasdvantages. With a chain, you can claim lower maintainance costs for the first 100k miles. With belts, you have quieter operation and lower replacement cost - even though replacement is required more often. As someone who drives a lot of high-mileage cars, I prefer belts, because there is no $600 chain job needed at 130k or so...
